Chapter 1237: The Sparks Of The Revolution Will Never Be Extinguished!Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The shorter the content, the more serious the affair was. This was a very practical experience.
Mag looked at the extremely short missive in his hands, and confirmed the severity of the matter.
Helena moving southward was already fixed, and now the timing was confirmed.
Two days later, the allied forces of the Wind Forest would merge and launch a combined attack on the underground cavern.
Given the Night Elves" total strength, they wouldn"t be able to hold off the combined forces. Irina couldn"t do it all on her own, hence the Night Elves" imminent defeat.
Mag pondered in silence for a moment before burning the missive into ashes. It seemed like he would have to make a trip to the north soon.
However, he had no idea what opinions Chaos City had about this news, and if they would be doing something about it. That messenger delivered the letter to him without mentioning anything else. He only told him to go to the city lord"s castle.
As Mag was still deep in thought, Amy and Anna woke up and came down. As she rubbed her eyes, one of the little ones told Mag, “Father, the school is going to have a break soon. Can I register myself for the variety show at the end of the term?”
“Join the variety show?” Mag was a little stunned, but he quickly nodded with a smile. “Of course, Amy, just register if you want to take part.”
Amy didn"t dare to talk to strangers in the past, but now this little one was getting bolder and bolder. She even wanted to take part in the variety show. This was a big improvement.
“Then, can Anna perform together with me?” Amy asked expectantly as she held Anna"s hand.
“Erm…” Mag looked at Anna, who was equally expectant, and smilingly said, “In this case, I will go look for Teacher Luna. I guess she would agree.”
“This is fantastic. Father, I love you!” Amy threw herself at Mag happily, and kissed him on his cheek.
“Alright. You two go and play. Father has to make breakfast for the grandmas and grandpas cleaners now.” Mag also kissed Amy on her forehead before putting her down, and went into the kitchen.
Of course, he couldn"t ignore the Night Elves"s matter. However, if they continued to hold up in the underground cavern, they would have to face endless attacks, even if they survived the current attack.
As for how to expand the numbers of the Night Elves rapidly and shake the core of the Wind Forest"s rule, that would have to depend on how fast Irina could figure things out.
He had already pa.s.sed her the theories through Firis, but whether she could understand and put them into practice, the crux was still Irina.
“Comrades—please allow me to address you so, because we are a group of elves with the same ideals—we have gathered together here for the same objective.” In a gigantic rock cave, Irina stood at the center, and the other elves sat around her. They looked at her with a determined gaze that was full of trust and hope.
“We have risen up to fight for freedom and started this Night Revolution, and those oppressors who have tried to smear us, denouncing us as traitors and besmirching our revolution, have decided to use great forces to exterminate us and crush us in our infancy.
“But, we will never give up, and the sparks of the revolution will never be extinguished!” Irina said determinedly, raising her fist over her head.
“The sparks of the revolution will never be extinguished!” the elves shouted in unison as they clenched their fists. They were all very agitated.
Irina"s gaze swept across the face of each and every elf. Many of them had injuries on their faces—even though they had the terrain advantage, they still suffered a lot of losses—but there weren"t any traces of fear and despair on them.
“We have dispelled all three waves of enemies" attacks, but the fourth attack would be coming soon. Furthermore, we have reliable information from Wind Forest that Helena is already leading her troops southward. She will combine her forces with Borg and launch a final attack on the Night Elves,” Irina said in a calm voice.
The cave began to quiet down. The elves were not terrified, but the overall atmosphere was low and pessimistic.
Just the Borg"s forces alone had already stretched the Night Elves to their max. If High Priestess Helena"s forces were to join in the extermination, no one would be able to leave the underground cavern alive.
“I want some of you to leave the underground cavern secretly, and return to the Wind Forest and the surrounding villages. You have to spread what we are doing now to the other elves. We are fighting for the freedom of the elf species. We are trying to build an elven state that doesn"t have oppression and strata. We want an elven state with freedom and equality. This is a difficult choice, but to preserve the seeds of the revolution, we have to do it.” Irina"s voice became severe.
All of the elves were shocked to hear that, and they looked at one another at a loss.
s.h.i.+rley stood up and asked Irina, “How about you, Princess? Are you leaving with us?”
All the elves looked toward Irina.
“No. I will stay and fight.” Irina shook her head, and said with a determined gaze, “The Night Elves cannot afford to evade this battle, or else it will become the excuse for the rulers to continue to oppress the weak. We have to show our strong will, and even if we cannot win, we are going to take a piece of them with us so we can tell our people that as long as we are united, their rule is not unshakeable!”
s.h.i.+rley gazed at Irina with a beam in her eyes as she raised her magic caster"s staff up, and exclaimed, “I will follow you into battle!”
“We will follow you into battle!”
All the elves stood up and raised their weapons and magic caster"s staffs as they exclaimed with fire in their eyes.
Irina looked at all of them, feeling extremely touched. However, she shook her head, and said, “This battle is destined to be difficult to win. What we have to do is to show the oppressors the guts of the Night Elves, but most importantly, we have to preserve the seeds of the revolution.
“We have to scatter the seeds among the people and turn them into sparks, and one day, these sparks will set the entire Wind Forest on fire!”
All the elves were thoughtful.
An old elf stood out with a smile, and said, “Let the little ones go and contribute to the sparks. We old fogies will be the firewood. We will follow you into this battle and burn for the final time. We hope the future of the Wind Forest could be how we wish it would become, a free elven state.”
“Yes. The racial wars then had failed to bring about a better Wind Forest. So, let us old fogies fight for one last time and kick off the war for freedom.” Another elderly elf stood out.
More and more elderly elves stood out. Hards.h.i.+ps and time had left many traces on their faces, but they still had warm smiles.
